  1. Web Tools 1.5 in the Callisto Simultaneous ReleaseFull Release Review July 27, 2006

  2. Introduction: WTP 1.5 Release Review • Eclipse Web Tools Platform Project • Original project proposal submitted by ObjectWeb • Original code contributions from IBM and Eteration (“ObjectWeb Lomboz”) • Major Milestones and Previous Releases • Eclipse Foundation creation review June 2004 • Full-time development since October 2004 • WTP 0.7 July, 2005 and subsequent 0.7.1 • WTP 1.0 December 2005 and subsequent 1.0.1/2/3

  3. WTP Requirements Process • Requirements group • Chaired by Jochen Krause, Innoopract (PMC member) • Participation by major WTP developers and consumers • IBM, BEA, Oracle, Genuitec, JBoss • Periodic telecons open to community; minutes posted to WTP website • Delivers WTP requirements document to PMC for each major release, summarizing themes, major goals, supported platforms • Planning document provided through Eclipse WTP Wiki • wtp-requirements@ mailing list created to solicit community requirements • Detailed requirements, plans tracked via Bugzilla • Themes and high-level requirements coordinated through Eclipse Requirements Council representation

  4. WTP 1.5 Project Themes • Coordination with other projects in the Callisto release • Ongoing API declaration where appropriate • Quality, reliability, stability • Large-scale development • User experience – improved graphical WSDL, schema editors and simplified Web Service wizards • Responsive UI – improvements to validation infrastructure • Architectural alignment – integrate with platform’s project model, navigator, undo/redo stack, property pane, etc.

  5. Feature Set - WST • Basic Server Tools • Support for server types and server connectivity, including web and DB • Configure, publish, start/stop, debug • Structured Source Editor Framework • Web Language Tools • HTML source editor • CSS source editor • JavaScript source editor • XML Language Tools • XML source editor • XSD editor - Graphical and source editing • DTD source editor • Facets – technique and UI for modeling server features

  6. Feature Set – WST (continued) • Web Service Tools • WSDL Editor • Graphical and source modes • Integrated XSD editor • Web Service Explorer • Query and publish to UDDI • Dynamically execute WSDL • Web Service Wizard • Extension points for codegen, deploy, test, etc. • WS-I Test Tools - Validate WSDL and SOAP for WS-I compliance • Data Tools [migrating to DTP] • Database server explorer • SQL scrapbook • Output view • RDB and SQL models

  7. Feature Set – JST • Java EE Core • Natures and Builders • Java EEViews and Navigators • Java EE Models • Java EE Projects and Modules • Support for WAR, EJB-JAR, EAR, etc • Models and source editors for deployment descriptors • Java EE Navigator view • Ability to target on different servers • Servlet Tools – wizard, “Run As…” • JSP Language Tools • JSP editor including syntax highlighting, code assist for HTML, Java, EL’s, JavaScript, taglibs • JSR-45 compliant debugging

  8. Feature Set – JST (continued) • Java EE Server Tools - extends WST server tools with Java EE deployment • Supports deploy, debug, project restart on Java EE runtimes • Generic server adapter • XML based configuration files for quick setup • Includes JOnAS, WebLogic, WebSphere, Oracle Application Server, JBoss • Custom (Java) server adapter for total control • Includes Tomcat (included), Geronimo adapters (downloadable) • JavaDoc Annotation Support • Extensible facility to define tagsets • Code assist in Java Editors + builders for code generation • EJB – wizard, editing support, JavaDoc annotation support • Java Web Services • Extensible Web service wizard • JAX-RPC codegen • JSR 109 deployment ready • Servlet (or in the future EJB) based • Includes Axis support • Models and source editors for deployment descriptors • Integrated into Java EE Navigator

  9. APIs • Some additional API definition in editors relative to 1.0.x releases • Provisional API where functionality is new or still in flux • “No API before its time”; one release provisional required • API scanning tool used internally and externally • Detect API use violations within WTP and between WTP and prerequisites. • Track API changes across versions (milestones, releases) • Enable adopters to discover, track reliance on provisional API • Track JUnit coverage • Track JavaDoc coverage

  10. Developer/API Documentation • Project-wide architectural overview (website) • Describes nature and relationship of components • Presentations and tutorials provide drill down on selected topics (such as server definition) • Component overview (website) • Describes operation of an individual component and relationships among its parts, lifecycle issues, and other emergent properties of component • JavaDoc Package documentation • Describes contents and inter-relationship of package contents • Per-file JavaDoc • Conventional JavaDoc guidelines apply; scope is the class/interface being documented and its immediate surface area • Extension point documentation

  11. User Documentation and Examples • WTP 1.5 download includes online documentation • Professional technical writer (IBM) contributing to 1.5 documentation • Tutorials and presentation materials available on www.eclipse.org/webtools • Includes copies of conference presentations (EclipseCon, JavaOne, EclipseWorld), articles, etc. • Ecosystem lead (Lawrence Mandel) assists with tutorial and other educational collateral • NL-enabled; non-English language packs included in Callisto • Two books, one “JST Pro” published by 3rd party, another in progress

  12. Architectural Issues • Project boundary alignment (with platform) remaining: • Internet proxy preferences • Project boundary alignment (between projects) • Validation (WTP, TPTP) • TCPIP Monitor (WTP, TPTP) • RDB and DTP (WTP and DTP) – moving in 2.0 timeframe

  13. End-of-Life • None • Deprecations: Note that RDB tools will be moving to DTP in a subsequent release (currently planned for 2.0/Europa).

  14. Defect Statistics as of 07/27/2006 P1: 3 P2: 143 P3: 1856 P4: 102 P5: 4 Total: 2108 • Release Exit Criteria: zero P1/blocker defects & 100% automated test pass rate where static analysis is feasible • – Test results posted with each build • – All tests are in CVS Bug statistics as of May 08, 2005

  15. API Delta • New APIs, API changes, API graduations since WTP 1.0.x • See http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/adopters/1.5APIdelta.html
